      Comments Off on J.P. Hayes shoots 8 under second round at Valero Texas Open

For those of you who aren’t aware, my uncle J.P. Hayes has been on the PGA Tour since 1992 and recently failed to qualify for his 2009 PGA Tour card because he called a penalty on himself during qualifying school.  To make a long story short, J.P. played a prototype Titleist ball that was not PGA approved and based on the… Read more »

Pre Mother’s Day 2009

      Comments Off on Pre Mother’s Day 2009

Those of you who know Emily well know that no event in Emily’s life where she is the focus should only last one day.  This is why she coined the phrase “Birthday Fest” and now we have “Mother’s Day Fest”.  What this means for me is that not only is she the center of attention for one day but we… Read more »

Where’s the sign?

So I have to first admit that Hunter has been to the Disney theme parks more in his two years than I could have dreamed to go in my childhood (although the 1,200 mile commute prevented many a day trip for the Hayes family living in Wisconsin).  During our many visits Emily and I often ride the monorail and train… Read more »

We decided to fire up the grill on Sunday and make some delicious hot dogs.  This was Hunter’s first experience eating hot dogs (or should I say moving the hot dog aside so he could eat the Cheetos).  Oh well the thought was there and I just had to share the image.

This one might require a bit of explanation.  When Hunter first came home from the hospital he had one of those infant friendly pacifiers.  Emily’s Dad, who fishes more than anyone I have ever met, thought that it looked like a fishing bobber.  We thought it was clever and the name  “bobbo” stuck.  Fast forward to two years later and Emily… Read more »

It was such a beautiful day we just had to head over to Epcot to enjoy the Flower and Garden Festival.  The gorgeous weather and stunning backdrops provided the perfect setting for this week’s three words.  The spring weather is very fleeting here, before the summer heat arrives, so we are enjoying it while it lasts!  Enjoy.

In honor of Colonel Griffin’s belated birthday celebration we decided to pack a lunch and head to Moss Park which is about 2 miles from the house to enjoy a nice afternoon.  Emily made some delicious bread salad that we enjoyed very much.  Hunter had a blast collecting sticks and watching Poppop fish.  Check out some of the fun photos… Read more »
